Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or when you have changed operators, you cannot connect to the web or can not send pictures. If that is the case, this is probably due to the APN configured on your Honor 6C. So we decided to draft this post to solve this problem. We will first of all find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Honor 6C. Finally, we will see in what situations you must modify the APN on the Honor 6C.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Honor 6C to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN can so prevent your Honor 6C from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to configure an APN on your Honor 6C
If you desire to configure an APN on your Honor 6C, you must go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you must click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You’ll then access a form that you must fill in with the data of your operator. One example is, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the net and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to do it again two times the procedure on your Honor 6C. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Honor 6C?
In most cases, you may not necessarily need to configure an APN on your Honor 6C as normally, this is done automatically. However, there are some circumstances that require the configuration of an APN on your Honor 6C. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Honor 6C and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This may also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
